MA36500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

MA36500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

The MA36500 is a 500 amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker for compatible I-Line panelboards. If you’re replacing a breaker in existing equipment, this is where the details count. The MA36500 is rated for 60Hz operation at 40°C, with interrupting ratings of 22kA at 600VAC, 30kA at 480VAC, and 42kA at 240VAC. Its solid molded-case construction is built to last when the breaker is selected, installed, and maintained correctly.

Key Features and Benefits

• 500 Amp, 3-Pole Configuration: Straightforward specifications for matching the breaker to compatible electrical equipment.
• Thermal-Magnetic Breaker: Uses the specified thermal-magnetic operating design.
• Made for I-Line Panelboards: Intended for compatible I-Line panelboard applications.
• MA Type: An important detail when matching an existing breaker by type and application.
• 60Hz, 40°C Rated: Both ratings are clearly defined for easier application checks.
